Phishing Schemes an Ongoing Threat

Phishing schemes continue to pose a threat to all web users. Recently, employees of The Texas A&M University System were targeted in a phishing scheme. Employees received an email message inviting them to update their email settings due to recent changes. The email contained a link to a page that impersonated the A&M System SSO page, and a handful of employees clicked through and eventually entered their user ID and passwords on the phishing site.

Be wary of clicking any links in emails.

When in doubt, go directly to the site by typing the address in the navigation bar.
